Fully agree. Looking at one of the circular dependencies listed on http://debian.semistable.com/debgraph.out I chose amphetamine{,-data} as an example. The list of files for amphetamine-data shows everything is in /usr/share except /etc/amphetamine/{amph,user}.conf. I do not know enough about the game to know if the configuration file is more closely related to the binary, or to the dataa itself. I would venture to guess that the conf files are more closely related to the game's binary. I can see where the game would be installed on the client system, and the data would live on the file server under /usr/share. Currently, the only way to do this is by having installed broken packages, and to copy the /etc/amphetamine files from the filer onto the client. vim and vim-common seem to suffer the same, except vim-common has nothing outside the /usr/share directory. In my case, though, I would likely have installed vim onto the filer, also. -- John H.
